April 23rd was an evening to remember. At Dantu Kala Kshetram, Sri Prakash Synergy School presented a vibrant celebration of music, theatre, and culture that left a lasting impression. The evening began with the much-loved Music Fest, where over 100 students performed ten soulful pieces. From gentle melodies to energetic rhythms, each song reflected the students’ dedication and teamwork, creating a magical atmosphere that moved the audience. After the melodies faded, the stage transformed for Gusto, our annual theatre festival that also celebrates Shakespeare’s birth anniversary. The performances this year were nothing short of extraordinary. One of the most powerful plays of the evening was Julius Caesar, where the intensity and emotion displayed by the students made it hard to believe they were still in school. The drama, the betrayal, and the iconic lines were delivered with such confidence that the entire auditorium went silent, completely drawn in. In contrast, the Hindi play based on Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne brought in waves of laughter with its funny take on daydreams and everyday life. And then there was Bala Ramayan, performed by our younger students, which touched everyone’s hearts. Dressed in beautiful traditional costumes, they brought the epic tale to life with innocence, grace, and devotion. It was like watching our culture come alive on stage. The event was graced by Chief Guests Prof. C.S.R.K. Prasad, Ms. Amala Rai, and Sri Sanjay Vedi, Director of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations, who praised the students’ talent and the school’s commitment to cultural education. Guest of Honour Smt. Karri Padmasri, MLC from Kakinada, appreciated the school’s efforts in preserving heritage. Director Sri Vijay Prakash emphasized Sri Prakash’s belief in nurturing confidence and creativity through the arts. All plays were masterfully directed by Mr. Kumar Sumit, Theatre Arts Faculty, whose guidance helped bring each story to life with depth and authenticity. The joy on every student’s face, whether on stage or in the audience, really captures Sri Prakash’s mission of growing today for the future. It’s about mixing knowledge with creativity, tradition with innovation, and building a community of learners, leaders, linguists and innovators. Sri Prakash helps every child shine and prepares them for what’s ahead.
